Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my AC stopped working. It's currently 3:08AM and I have 2 fans running, a cold washcloth on my neck, and a window open. It's still hot as hell. Thanks, Florida. FML
Today, nearing the start of what I was hoping to be a relaxing week off, my air conditioning system died. A replacement system will be in the $7000 range, just the amount I'd finally saved for my dream vacation. FML
Today, I almost paid off my credit card. Then, a couple of hours later, my air conditioner broke. Found out it’s 12 years-old and leaking Freon. I’m going to have to get a whole new unit, which will cost me $6,500 to $10,050. FML
Today, as I have my entire life, I live in the south. However, our AC decided to break and now it's 91 degrees inside the house, even with fans on and the windows open. FML
Today, our AC broke. It's 98 degrees inside the house. My parents will be staying at a 5 star resort until the repairman can come to fix the unit in 6 days. They made me stay home to make sure the plants survive. FML
Today, I ran out of cash. The nearest ATM to my house is over a half hour away by foot. After walking all the way there under the blistering heat of the sun, I realized I'd left my card back at home. FML
Today, I can't get my heat to turn off. It is currently 87 degrees Fahrenheit in my house, and my heat is running non-stop. It's about 20 degrees outside with over a foot of snow on the ground, so a repairman can't come out to fix it. My electricity bill will be about $1000. FML
Today, we had our first rainstorm in weeks. Thirty seconds before it started, my window broke in the "down" position from overuse, since last week the air conditioning in my car gave out. Now I have a hot, wet car. FML
Today, I need money to fix my car, I need my car to get to work, and I need work to get money. FML
Today, I took my car in because the AC had stopped working. The mechanic turned it on, pressed one button, and cold air started blasting. I'd seemingly switched it to heat three months ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks. And that shit is expensive! Most hvac companies can do payment plans. I know because mine broke recently too and I am in hot and humid place. I prefer buying outright as opposed to having debt (no credit cards or car payments), but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Are you on welfare or receive any help from the government? States have programs to help low income and people who have no income. I’m in AZ but in my state there are resources and programs that here ppl can get AC’s, Storm windows, window replacements etc. Contact your welfare office and tell them, they should have the numbers for ppl you can talk to. Good Luck!

Do what lots of Phoenicians do: get up to Flagstaff--it's 30 degrees cooler there even though it's only 2 hours away.

Try 3.5-4 hours. And it must be nice to have that kind of money, RP. But not all of us have it.

Only if there's a brushfire on I-17. The Flagstaff town motto is: Poverty with a View.

aye same. when I can't use AC I just put something cold behind the fan. also use that 1 inch to 1.5 inch thick styrofoam in your windows to insulate your place. saves on money that way
